All Have Not The Same Capacity. I

Ram Mohan Roy Would Have Been A Greater Reformer And Lokmanya Tilak A Greater Scholar If They Had Not To Start With The Handicap Of Having To Think In English And Transmit Their Thoughts Chiefly In English.

The Science Of War Leads One To Dictatorship, Pure And Simple. The Science Of Non-violence Alone Can Lead One To Pure Democracy. Power Based On Love Is Thousand Times More Effective And Permanent Than Power Derived From Fear Of Punishment. It Is A Blasphemy To Say Non-violence Can Be Practiced Only By Individuals And Never By Nations Which Are Composed Of Individuals. The Nearest Approach To Purest Anarchy Would Be A Democracy Based On Non-violence. A Society Organized And Run On The Basis Of Complete Non-violence Would Be The Purest Anarchy.

A Warrior Lives On His Wars, Whether Offensive Or Defensive. And He Suffers A Collapse If He Finds That His Warring Capacity Is Unwanted.

Victory Attained By Violence Is Tantamount To A Defeat For It Is Momentary.

However Much I May Sympathise With And Admire Worthy Motives, I Am An Uncompromising Opponent Of Violent Methods Even To Serve The Noblest Of Causes.
